The Pediatric Dentist Benton, LA Families Trust
Benton is the seat of Bossier Parish government, a small-town community just north of Bossier City on LA Highway 3. Many of our patients are Benton High School students and their younger siblings, growing up together in a tight-knit community.
When the weekend comes, Benton families head to Cypress Black Bayou Park & Recreation Area for camping, fishing, and time on the nature trails — the kind of active outdoor life that occasionally leads to a chipped tooth. We love being the dental home for a community like that.
- Serving Benton and all of Bossier Parish from our Bossier City office
- A short, easy drive north on LA Highway 3
- Care built around real Benton family routines, from school mornings to weekend trips to Cypress Black Bayou
It's what makes us a kids' dentist Benton parents recommend to their neighbors.
Flexible Options for Every Family
We're an in-network TRICARE provider and accept most major insurance plans, plus Medicaid. If you're unsure about your coverage, our team is happy to verify benefits before your visit. For families who prefer to spread out the cost, flexible payment plans are available through our Patient Center.
What We Treat
Whether it's a first checkup or a chipped tooth after practice, our team is a childrens dentist Benton families can call for almost anything:
Dental Exams & Cleanings
A kids dental checkup Benton families can build a routine around. Every six months, we check for cavities, gum issues, and growth milestones, and a professional cleaning removes the plaque and tartar brushing can't — easy to fit around Benton High School.
Mouthguards
Custom-fit mouthguards for Benton High athletes and for kids who grind their teeth at night (bruxism) — sized to actually stay in and get worn.
Fillings
When a cavity turns up, we remove the decay and restore the tooth with durable, tooth-colored composite instead of old-fashioned metal fillings.
Dental Crowns
When a filling isn't enough, we place both silver and natural-looking pediatric white crowns, offered at both our Shreveport and Bossier City offices.
Extractions
Extractions are a last resort, reserved for teeth beyond saving or causing crowding, and we make the process as calm and gentle as we can.
Hospital Dentistry
For extensive treatment or children who need it, we offer hospital-based care under general anesthesia, with safety protocols at every step.

If I Could Give 100 Stars I Would
My 7-year-old used to never like the dentist until we came here. He is autistic and very picky with whom he lets touch him, and he has no issues with this office! If I could give 100 stars I would!
